Today All Your Might passed away. He was the first Steward bred horse I could afford back in the day of y42. He was my FIRST SB horse bought at auction directly from the Steward. Almost 800k was ALOT of money for me back then, and I think I only had 100 or 200k left after the auction. Luckily for me, he repaid me during his 9 year long career, racing until he was 11 years old- when he became the oldest Stewards Cup winner in the Sim history! (a record he still holds today, last time I checked).
But before he won that historic race y52, he was sent to the Hong Kong Turf Mile y51 and y50 (because I did not believe he was good enough for The Steward's Cup) and he won both years, making me reconsider and sending him out in his final race as a 11 year old to The Steward's Cup Turf Mile (facing horses half his age). It was such a surreal evening. I do not believe anyone was even looking at the 11 year old, everyone was talking about Whisper Soft, Peper Jack Boudin, Freedom To Dream, Super Powers etc etc. And not only was All Your Might a 11 year old, he was a gelding too... so I am sure no one was really paying attention to him. I don't blame them though.
But it was such a surreal moment when All Your Might was trailing the pack in the back, only to advance on the other horses and beating them with 1/2 length to spare. He won against horses half his age at the prime of their careers.

He was such a good horse, who I believe would have gotten the Longer Career comment today. Because he really did his best between his 9 year old mark to his 11. Such a champion.
#3 Highest earning gelding TM of all time.
#12 Highest All Time Points gelding TM of all time.
He was a gelding sadly, so his DNA dies with him. But the memories of his against the odds victories will not die. They are a part of the Sim history.
Rest in peace my boy. You did amazing <3
